9 v 9 Crossing And Finishing<br />
The same organization as the previous game except this time the final<br />
pass is played into the wide area for A3 who attacks the end-line and<br />
crosses for two players, A1 and A2 who have made runs into the penalty<br />
area.<br />
Coaching Points<br />
• All previous coaching points including timing of runs and weight of<br />
passes<br />
• Players A1 and A2 should time their runs so they don’t arrive too<br />
early<br />
• Players A1 and A2 should stagger their runs as shown, with A1’s near<br />
post run arriving first and A2’s far post run arriving second<br />
• Hit the target with the shot<br />
Variation<br />
The final pass can be made to the opposite flank area to A4 as shown in<br />
diagram 16.<br />
A conditioning element can be introduced by asking A1, A2, A3 and<br />
A4 to make recovery runs back into the middle third playing area as<br />
quickly as possible. To make this effective, the coach should serve a ball<br />
back into play as soon as the players have made their attempt on goal.<br />
Game to Finish<br />
The sessions ends with a game where the goals are placed at<br />
the top of the penalty area. A 15-yard grid is placed around the<br />
center circle. The ball must be played with one touch in this area to<br />
encourage wide play and crosses.<br />
